You usually are, when it comes to electricity. Frequently, your errors lead you to give advice that is not only incorrect, but potentially dangerous.

He will take quote out of >context to make it look like I said something silly.

I don't have to take your words out of context to make it look like you said something silly. You do a perfectly adequate job of looking silly entirely on your own, without any help from me.

Here I actually said >the 1hp motor probably drew 10a and didn't need to be changed; only motors >over 15 amps needed to be changed. He quoted the "over 15" to make it look >like I said the 1hp motor drew over 15a.

You missed the point: 15A motors, regardless of what they need, are utterly irrelevant to the original poster, because he doesn't have one. So why bring it up? Like I said, so who has a 15A motor?

He is an idiot and an obnoxious jerk. I have him killfiled, but I see him >when someone replies to a post in which he says something stupid about my >post.

You want some cheese to go with that whine? You're just upset because I caught

*another* instance of you giving incorrect answers to electrical questions. Quit posting bad advice, and I'll quit calling you on it.

You *don't* know what you're talking about. Someone who makes the mistake of thinking you do could wind up hurting himself.

I did read it.

And I asked you why not.

Please cite a single reputable source that supports that nonsense. Just one. Of course you won't be able to because any reputable source is in direct conflict with your distorted concept of electricity.

If you consider someone disagreeing with a completely nonsensical, unsupportable proposition being a jerk, then I'll wear the badge proudly.

It's a perfect analogy. That you don't recognsize it is an indicator that you don't understand electricity. I now believe it was you I recommended not give any electrical advice. You clearly don't have a clue about it. In fact, you are the very embodiment of why people should take advice gleaned from the internet with a huge grain of salt.

That would be fine with me. He knows what he's talking about with regard to electricity. You don't.
